Work

"My work is a search for the connection between identity and looks.
I am inspired by people in general, I am interested in ethnicity, human behavior, body-movement, perception of beauty, beauty-ideals and eccentricity.

I identify myself with the transforming abilities of a chameleon.
If I change my look, I feel different, as if I become somebody else.
I like to become somebody else every now and then."

Curator & Coach Shaheen Merali:

"Fleur Ouwerkerk (fashion aficionado, photographer, social modalitist) suggests on her website that “I identify myself with the transforming abilities of a chameleon. ….I like to become somebody else every now and then." The shifting persona, the trickster is a survivor, an archetype that she scratches into the alchemy that makes a photograph, revealing the cosmopolitan consciousness of fine suspension of insoluble light-sensitive crystals in a colloid soul."
